Okay, well we weren't but caught Nanny 911 tonight and the parents were like out of it or something. The mom especially never wiped the smile off her face. Her kids had a habit of disappearing out of the house near busy streets and she sat there holding the 3 month old baby, smiling. "oh did you lock your brother out?"

And to make this pertain to PC.....I saw lots of PC products on her counter!!!!

I wanted to go through the t.v. and wipe the smile off her face.
Then it showed that SUDDENLY she decided to pay attention.
I don't think it will last with her.
Couldn't believe that their two year old would escaped to the front yard and they totally ignored him.

That's called Natural Selection!
 
I couldn't believe the dad wanted to drive the kids to sleep every night! Even when the nanny gave them pj's and they got so excited, the dad wouldn't even try it for one night!!

I noticed the stone and then the quik stir pitcher :)
